Until his death, most White Liberals would never have known George Floyd's name...


Unless they went to the ghetto to buy drugs off him, or he happened to mug them in the street or invade their homes.

And no one will know or care about your death. What’s your point?

nice thing to say, reported...

I would care immensely if whynotwriteme died. I would send flowers to the family. Floyd, not only do I not give a shit he OD'ed. I'm happy about it. The only sad part is he ruined thousands of lives in the process. David Dorn and Chauvin being at the top of that list.

Thank you very much for that heart-warming statement, NGMI and to JoWilli for reporting the person who was so callous and bitter. Sorry I didn't see it sooner.

Until his death, most people in general would NEVER have known George Floyd's name

Do you know what a 'catalyst' is? A catalyst means "something that causes activity, an event, or change." And usually, these events and changes are big.

it's not about George Floyd so much as it is about how the police have treated black people for generations.

reply

Floyd was the catalyst for a grossly misguided movement.

The vast majority of police shootings of black people occurred because the black person resisted or ran or continued to carry out criminal actions when ordered to cease. Example: that teenage girl who insisted on attempting to stab another girl even as cops were less than ten feet away. Brionna Taylor was perhaps not engaged in direct criminal activity, but she was right next to an armed criminal who was defying the cops who came to arrest him.

I am not saying all black people behave this way. You never hear about a black doctor or librarian or school teacher shot by cops. The majority of poor black people are also law abiding. It's black people who lead criminal lifestyles or associate with those who do, and who have huge chips on their shoulders that get killed by cops. Black street culture encourages impulsivity, defiance, arrogance, dominance and solving problems through violence. Just watch any rap video if you doubt this.

Black kids from that criminal social class are taught to hate the cops from babyhood. If that social group of black people who bear the brunt of "police violence" would learn to speak respectfully, drop their weapons, not run and keep their hands in sight when dealing with cops, the number of blacks shot by cops would be far, far less. Unfortunately, black street culture teaches them that common sense, respect and obedience to authority are the characteristics of slaves and Uncle Toms and should be scorned.

ANY PERSON OF ANY COLOR WOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE EXACT SAME TREATMENT HAD THEY ACTED THE EXACT SAME AS GEORGE FLOYD.

On this, we can agree, Kowalski.
